The Coalition government have been relentless in their welfare reforms, cuts to services. Warnings taken to them time and time again have been ignored. Many grassroot groups, charities, church leaders and think tanks have taken numerous actions, in their attempts to show the reality of how many disabled people and carers are being hit disproportionately by the cuts to benefits and services.
YOU may be someone affected now
It may be YOU next, if you suddenly become seriously ill/disabled and/or a family carer.
You may be campaign weary, wondering how much more you can give. However, we must always rise up that one more time than we fall.
